Mission

FAHE MAKES A DIFFERENCE BY PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES TO THE APPALACHIAN REGION, WHICH HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN ONE OF THE MOST IMPOVERISHED IN THE NATION. THESE OPPORTUNITIES POSITIVELY CHANGE THE LIVES OF OVER 80,000 INDIVIDUALS ANNUALLY BY CONNECTING OTHER NON-PROFITS, COMMUNITIES, AND INDIVIDUALS WITH THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO CREATE BETTER LIVES. THESE RESOURCES INCLUDE FUNDING, PARTNERSHIP, EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, AND CONSULTING. OUR EFFORTS EMPOWER FAMILIES TO TAKE THE STEPS NEEDED TO BUY A HOME, START A BUSINESS, OR ACCESS ESSENTIAL SERVICES FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE PRIMARY WAY IN WHICH FAHE IS ABLE TO SERVE THE REGION SO EFFECTIVELY IS DUE TO ITS MEMBERSHIP NETWORK. WITH 50+ LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS 6 STATES SERVING AS BOOTS-ON-THE-GROUND COMMUNITY LIAISONS, FAHE IS ABLE TO LEVERAGE ITS EXPERTISE THROUGH LOCAL PARTNERS TO AFFECT CHANGE TO THOSE IN LOCATIONS WHERE TRADITIONAL MARKETS HAVE FAILED.
